No no I want that too, I am just surprised a tall building was planned for this site, wonder what it looks like

Yes

Really?

Very glad to see this, hopefully more does the same on market street near Halsey

So all I know is that the vote was 3 to 2 when it came to demolishing the old buildings but you need 5 to demolish.

Anytime

Probably not going to happen, I heard it was a scam to sell the land, hopefully it isn’t true but maybe they looking for financing and Covid delayed it maybe

Hey so I made an updated list of all the buildings Newark already have or will have. I was bored so decided to do my own list, pretty cool to compare all the buildings together. Enjoy!!!!!!

Thank you, one of my greatest skills

Facts, I feel like this tower closes the gap between midtown and downtown. Plus this area could use some more attention. The light rail and broad street station and minutes away, this part of downtown should be something like NYC midtown. I want different parts of downtown to feel and look different yet be connected at the same time

I am pretty much cities like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and maybe Chicago look more like an American city than Newark, since they have more art deco towers than we do and more modern towers than we do. I am not gonna lie I love our art deco style buildings there great and beautiful but it doesn’t mean we have to only build art deco moving forward in Newark. Our skyline should be diverse, Newark is a diverse city, imagine someone saying that Newark should only be black and we should embrace bring more black people to the city.

I mean it’s something, no matter what the design is it’s always welcomed in my eyes.

See you at the meeting my brother

Not every design that gets thrown in Newark proposal board will change the game in how we design towers, there are going to be some hits and some miss.

Welp ladies and gentlemen fans of Newark development tomorrow are evening will differently determine if this project happens or not. It should because if they can approve halo, and 900 broad street to glassy modern towers that don’t fit in their neighborhoods and would cast a large shadow got approved while one is actually under construction. I really hope this thing gets approved tomorrow night, I don’t have a problem with the facade looking similar to one theater square or the two Shaq towers to fit the area better as long as it stays 45 stories I am happy. The sky’s the limit it’s time for Newark to dream big. Makes no sense jersey city is approving towers taller than this left and right while we fall behind. Fingers crossed see y’all tomorrow

I mean it was design by the same architecture firm so if anything this is a cousin of the halo tower. Don’t really see how it’s a real problem with the design. The majority of the new prudential tower is glass and so is this tower and they sit in the same historic district. It amazes me how other bigger cities can build these nice tall glassy towers in the middle of historic buildings and they still look nice. One Vanderbilt is only seconds away from the Empire State Building yet it looks nothing like it and it doesn’t. I wouldn’t have a problem if they made this building facade look similar to one theater square or both Shaq towers but we need some diversity in the skyline. Not every new building has to be as iconic or similar to those that’s been in Newark for more than 30 years. Besides look at the area halo is being constructed in there’s literally no other building that looks like it or has the same facade as it.

What’s wrong with the current design?

I am Steve Rogers

So to clear the air and because this project is at the top of my list I did a lot of research on it. So technically the first two towers should be the ones to get built since they were approved first. The original design was only to towers. When the design changed they also added the third tower and later got the third tower approved. So they decided to build the third tower first along with tower 1 and 2 parking podiums. Right now tower 3 is under construction, tower 1 and 2 are likely to break ground between 2025 or 2027. When they do break ground both towers will be built at the same time instead of one by one. I am guessing since they are the tallest they would need more than the 90 million dollar loan for the third tower. So the first two towers are already approved and can be built at anytime but for right now tower 3 will be the only one. Treat this project as the journal square towers and how each got built at different times etc etc. Towers 1 and 2 will exist in our skyline before 2030, let’s just hope their cousin on broad street can get approved and exist too. Also whoever picked none of the towers will get built is crazy 😂

True but I would very much want to see the Arc tower break ground.

Cool

I think he was talking about 900 broad street. It’s funny he said that because no action as took place on that site yet and the tower got approved same time or before halo towers original design got approved. I honestly don’t think that tower will ever get built, but it would be cool if it did.
